As of August 28, 2017, the Flixster Video US service no longer provides code redemption and playback of titles due to circumstances beyond our control related to the unexpected shutdown of a critical vendor. Flixster Video customers can still redeem codes and access their UltraViolet video collections by linking their UltraViolet accounts to Vudu, another UltraViolet retailer. Consumers who have previously linked their UltraViolet accounts to other UltraViolet digital retailers such as FandangoNow can continue to access their video libraries at those retailers.

A step-by-step guide is available in the FAQ below to assist you during this transition.
